Is that aimed at me?

not aimed at anyone specifically, but someone (maybe you) linked to a site that reminds me of ogrish or rotten. it seems like if you're going to waste time with shit like that, why not just take it all the way and film yourself raping toddlers and whatnot?

what makes you ask that, vimothy? is it crazy to think that people who get off on that stuff are sociopaths/losers?

I think I was a bit annoyed because you basically said that since I enjoy ogrish and rotten -- two (I assume) sites that I have never heard of -- I should film myself raping toddlers.

But then I read your nice comment at my blog and the annoyance passed. I agree that it's just a board and not worth getting too excited about. And I don't know if this is an issue, but the pretentious crap stuff is meant to be (among other things) gently self-depreciating, not an attack on you as an Eng Lit student. I am quite pretentious.

no one should film themselves raping toddlers ;)

not sure why i made the connection to ogrish, probably thinking of a different thread. there was a story on Primetime ABC about this girl (maybe 19) who was killed in a car accident, and i guess this ogrish site got a hold of the forensic photos. some of the comments those people made ("she deserved it. she was a whore" etc) were beyond appalling.

i retract everything i said about /b/. i've never visited the website. and almost all of my posts are written in a state of extreme cannabis intoxication.

Heh. I've read similar stories about /b/, TBH. Of course, such actions are reprehensible. But I don't think it's necessary to think that troll culture is a totally "good thing" to find it interesting.

Can anyone explain why I am getting lots of emails about people I know adding me on Facebook, when I am not actually on Facebook myself (and have never opened an account there)?

It is confusing and weird. :confused:

I think if you try and add someone that doesn't have Facebook, you get a prompt asking if you'd like to email them and invite them to Facebook. I'm not sure why they wouldn't do it their bloody selves though.

I have been hearing from quite a few people who have been getting 'join Facebook' emails.
Having joined a few weeks ago, I;ve found it -like many things - ok and useful for awhile.
Those first days on it if one happens to be looking for whatever ...

did find the last old friend from Elementary school I'd been looking for on and off,
another x classmate who I had heard gone to Paris and became a model and married John Delorean ( not true , it was a middle east prince or so )
and could be talking with one of the cats who programmed Planet Rock.

So it's been some fun, not much bother and you can adjust it to fit.

there are no accidents
it's cool for staying in connect with peeps but
absolute shit for music promotion!
i've been on myspace only a few months longer than face book
almost 3000 myspace friends
lots of good things have happened because of it
and only 5 "fans" on facebook.
there seems to be no way of getting it out there or for people to find it
i feel that page is just going to rot there for ever :(

It was only when I stopped using facebook that I realized how little it actually did for me. It creates this convenience that only exists in your mind after you start using it.

I never deleted my account though. I never take photos of anything, and one thing I like about Facebook is that it sits there collecting photos other people have taken. That is extremely convenient.

This week saw articles on how Facebook had caught up with Myspace in number of users, articles asking 'Are you still on Myspace ?' and Myspace scorn from FB users has been apparent in the few weeks i've been on.
But alot of music people, groups, bands are still on Myspace even with the new music player that sounds like a hassle to dl ...
One of our groups was found by Denmark indie label via Myspace , a plus in our camp.

For my part I've barely cared to post about music on FB as yes - the people there are sometimes just like the ones you left in school, at your last job or who will populate your next job.

Now if you want to send a 'Noise Gods' , '80's groups', 'post punk' album
cover or favorite label icon as 'gift' to someone - FB has it !

Plus -minus if you ask me.
But alot is like that these days.

Every time there's an 'upgrade' in these social networks ( or often Apple 's products , other software ) something else gets lost.

email i got from my friend said:
Dear all,

Please note: I never created a facebook account for myself - I am not a facebook user. Someone apparently created my profile on facebook on my behalf. If someone knows how to erase this info on the web, please let me know. Thanks

Caros amigos,

E favor notar que eu nunca crei uma conta com Facebook. Nao utiliso Facebook. Alguem criou os meus dados por mim. Se alguem sabe come iliminar minha informacao no web e favor dizer. Obrigada.

Beijjos para todos. P

it would be great if you joined. i use it for music and political discourse all the time. it depends on who your friends are, i suppose. i don't add people from my work for instance, unless i actually regard them as friends who have interesting things to say.
